Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are reported to have sealed the knot, nearly 20 years after they originally became engaged and later called off their wedding and split in 2004.
In Clark County, Nevada, according to TMZ, Lopez and Affleck applied for a marriage license over the weekend. A source told People that the couple exchanged vows in a “small” ceremony.
“It was super, super small. [Jennifer’s] mom and kids were there. They just wanted to be married so they got married,” the insider said.
On Sunday, Lopez confirmed the news on her website. “Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other,” she wrote alongside a series of images from the wedding. “In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”
Lopez added, “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.”
